[01:45] ---
    What are you guys doing here?
[01:48] ---
    You sent us that letter, Erza-san.
[01:53] ---
    Minerva joined a Dark Guild?
[01:56] ---
    I think I'll let Sting know about it.
[02:00] ---
    Now that you mention it...
[02:02] ---
    Incidentally, Erza-san, the way you
    wrote that letter was, you know...
[02:06] ---
    Terrible.
[02:08] ---
    At first I thought your
    letter was cursing us.
[02:12] ---
    Even thinking about it now
    makes me feel nauseated...
[02:14] ---
    Yukino fainted after reading three lines.
[02:18] ---
    Because of that,
[02:20] ---
    Rufus was prepared to die
    as he deciphered it,
[02:23] ---
    but it took a long time to get here.
[02:27] ---
    Sorry.
[02:30] ---
    My lady. Let's go back to the guild.
[02:37] ---
    Return to your guild?
[02:39] ---
    This world of magic is about to end.
[02:42] ---
    But go ahead. I won't stop you.
[02:45] ---
    Face was destroyed.
[02:48] ---
    Just one of them.
[02:50] ---
    Erza-san,
[02:52] ---
    on the way here, we saw a lot
    of creepy statues of faces.
[02:56] ---
    If that's Face, there are tons of them
    coming up out of the ground.
[03:00] ---
    What?!
[03:02] ---
    One hour. In one hour,
    all of the Faces will start up.
[03:08] ---
    That's approximately
    3,000 magic pulse bombs.
[03:13] ---
    They'll eradicate magic
    all across the continent.
[03:20] ---
    Everything will go as planned.
[03:23] ---
    No matter what you people try
    to do, it will be for naught.
SIGN    Tartaros Arc: A Boy's Tale
[03:43] ---
    Dammit! Another pain-in-the-ass wizard!
[03:48] ---
    I'm not a wizard. I wield Curse power.
[03:51] ---
    Sink.
[03:55] ---
    What the hell are you doing?!
[04:00] ---
    Brilliant Flame of the Fire Dragon!
[04:03] ---
    Downpour.
[04:08] ---
    Dammit! Again?!
[04:12] ---
    You're annoying.
[04:14] ---
    You're the one with the smug look on his mug!
[04:25] ---
    Crap. Bastard's got a tough skin.
    What the hell's he made of?
[04:30] ---
    Iron-based magic, eh? It's unusual,
    but your attacks are simple.
[04:36] ---
    But that's the impression I
    already got from your face.
[04:38] ---
    You don't gotta go there, jerkoff!
[04:41] ---
    I'll clock you with the
    Club of the Iron Dragon!
[04:44] ---
    Boring.
[04:48] ---
    You howl a lot for a weak human.
[04:50] ---
    And you flap your gums
    like nobody's business,
[04:54] ---
    sharkskin!
[04:56] ---
    Water Slicer!
[05:01] ---
    Again?!
[05:04] ---
    A body that's immune
[05:07] ---
    to Juvia's skills... This is one hard battle!
[05:12] ---
    A tale...
[05:14] ---
    What's that?
[05:16] ---
    Seilah said tales written
    by humans are wearisome.
[05:21] ---
    However...
[05:23] ---
    ...this tale of you humans in particular is
    so comical that it's captured my interest.
[05:44] ---
    Aquarius...
[05:46] ---
    Celestial Spirit King...
[05:48] ---
    I...
[05:50] ---
    I... will continue... to fight!
[06:01] ---
    I still can't move...
    even at a time like this...
[06:05] ---
    Everyone...
[06:10] ---
    3,000 magic pulse bombs?!
[06:15] ---
    I don't believe it!
[06:16] ---
    What the hell is that?!
[06:17] ---
    In one hour...
[06:20] ---
    ...magic will disappear
    all across the continent?
[06:23] ---
    Fro won't be able to fly anymore?
[06:26] ---
    It's more than that. A great part
    of our lives depends on magic.
[06:32] ---
    There'll be chaos everywhere, yeah.
[06:37] ---
    It's a bluff.
[06:38] ---
    He can't operate Face by remote control.
[06:41] ---
    It's impossible to activate
    3,000 of them simultaneously.
[06:46] ---
    Certainly...
[06:47] ---
    ...the human known as the chairman has
    the authority to control them remotely.
[06:54] ---
    If I recall correctly,
[06:56] ---
    that chairman is dead.
[06:58] ---
    Wha...?!
[06:59] ---
    We have a necromancer in our guild.
[07:04] ---
    What's that?
[07:05] ---
    Someone with the power to control the dead!
[07:08] ---
    He will manipulate the chairman's corpse
    to turn on Face from the control room.
[07:15] ---
    How dare you?!
[07:16] ---
    Amid all this destruction,
    that room was spared?
[07:21] ---
    Erza-san, get over there.
[07:24] ---
    Stop Face!
[07:26] ---
    Leave him to us.
[07:28] ---
    But...
[07:30] ---
    Take care of my lady and the cats, too.
    I know I can count on you, Erza-san.
[07:34] ---
    We'll take this guy down.
[07:37] ---
    Humans say the silliest things.
[07:40] ---
    You're going to beat the Underworld King?
[07:43] ---
    You humans?
[07:45] ---
    That's right!
[07:47] ---
    If you must.
[07:54] ---
    Erza! Now!
[07:56] ---
    Take my lady with you!
[07:57] ---
    He's a formidable enemy! Be careful!
[08:00] ---
    What?! He can't be as tough as Natsu-san!
[08:03] ---
    Stop Face!
[08:05] ---
    Right!
[08:06] ---
    Sting... Rogue...
[08:08] ---
    Fro is gonna fight, too!
[08:10] ---
    Don't be a dope! We're going with Erza-san.
[08:14] ---
    But...
[08:15] ---
    I have faith in Sting-kun.
[08:19] ---
    Fro does, too!
[08:26] ---
    Roar of the...
[08:28] ---
    ...White Dragon!
[08:35] ---
    Slash...
[08:37] ---
    ...of the Shadow Dragon!
[08:58] ---
    I don't like it.
[09:01] ---
    Mere humans wielding Dragon Slayer magic...
[09:12] ---
    Yeah. There's somethin' I don't like, too.
[09:15] ---
    You hurting our comrade!
[09:19] ---
    Whirl.
[09:24] ---
    What the hell...?!
[09:27] ---
    Squall.
[09:31] ---
    What's wrong? Is that all you've got?
[09:34] ---
    Shut up!
[09:36] ---
    Get outta my way!
[09:38] ---
    You're in my way!
[09:40] ---
    Apologize, Salamander!
[09:43] ---
    You apologize, or I'll sock you in the jaw!
[09:47] ---
    Both of you, cool down! This is no time
     to be fighting amongst ourselves!
[09:51] ---
    It's his fault!
[09:57] ---
    Squabbling in the middle of a battle.
    Humans are curious creatures.
[10:02] ---
    Who cares?
[10:04] ---
    That hurt, for cripes sake!
[10:06] ---
    Those guys are cocky.
[10:09] ---
    I'll finish this business with you later!
[10:12] ---
    That's my line.
[10:19] ---
    So what kind of tale will you show me?
[10:24] ---
    Juvia has felt uneasy for awhile now...
[10:28] ---
    Please don't let it mean something
    has happened to Gray-sama!
[10:39] ---
    3,000 Face statues?
[10:45] ---
    What the hell kind of weapon
    did the Council make?
[10:50] ---
    So you brought me all the way
    over here to tell me that?
[10:55] ---
    Oh, please...
[11:02] ---
    I thought maybe I would be able to see
    a look of despair on your face.
[11:06] ---
    Unfortunately I'm not even
    feeling a twinge of despair.
[11:09] ---
    That is too bad.
[11:11] ---
    Merely killing you isn't amusing.
[11:17] ---
    You know me, don't you?
[11:20] ---
    Yeah. I know you well.
[11:26] ---
    Same for me.
[11:28] ---
    Your face... Your voice... I know them well.
[11:34] ---
    I know them, but they belong to someone else.
[11:37] ---
    Who are you?!
[11:41] ---
    Answer me! Who are you?!
[11:47] ---
    I think you have an idea, don't you?
[11:50] ---
    I'm your...
[11:54] ---
    ...father.
[12:17] ---
    You're my old man, you say?
[12:20] ---
    That can't be.
[12:23] ---
    My dad is dead! I saw it with my own eyes!
[12:26] ---
    Deliora murdered him!
[12:51] ---
    My name is Silver Fullbuster.
[12:55] ---
    I'm your father.
[13:00] ---
    Liar!
[13:15] ---
    There's no way...
[13:17] ---
    There's no way my dad's alive!
[13:28] ---
    This is the stuff.
    I imagined you'd have that expression.
[13:35] ---
    I am your father, and that's no lie...
[13:39] ---
    ...but it's also a little more complicated.
[13:43] ---
    What do you mean?
[13:45] ---
    To you, my existence is
    much more important now.
[13:50] ---
    We're destined to fight!
[14:08] ---
    Gajeel!
[14:09] ---
    Yeah!
[14:12] ---
    Boom.
[14:20] ---
    This foreboding...
[14:23] ---
    Gray-sama!
[14:26] ---
    Everyone!
[14:28] ---
    The same for me.
[14:30] ---
    I'm not done.
[14:32] ---
    Rest.
[14:36] ---
    We're fine.
[14:41] ---
    Besides, I caught a scent.
[14:44] ---
    Yeah.
[14:47] ---
    This scent...
[14:51] ---
    It's them.
[14:59] ---
    I see.
[15:06] ---
    I can understand how Kyoka
    would be tempted to play with humans.
[15:11] ---
    Bastard...
[15:13] ---
    Give us your worst, asshole!
[15:15] ---
    You can't see a future in which you're dead.
[15:18] ---
    Your principles of conduct are
    governed by your emotions.
[15:22] ---
    And you don't know how weak you are.
[15:25] ---
    You're overwhelmingly ignorant.
[15:30] ---
    You're stupid to the point of being adorable.
[15:40] ---
    Still, this place is a disaster area.
[15:44] ---
    Fro thinks so, too.
[15:46] ---
    Maybe demons just aren't good at cleaning.
[15:50] ---
    They're bad at it!
[15:52] ---
    Do you know where the
    control room is, Minerva?
[15:56] ---
    I can't tell when the whole place
    has been turned upside down.
[16:00] ---
    It's too big to search from end to end.
[16:03] ---
    There must be another way.
[16:05] ---
    Erza, leave me here.
[16:09] ---
    If I can't even guide you,
    I'm just a hindrance.
[16:14] ---
    I don't want to become more of
    a burden than I already have.
[16:22] ---
    Can't you hear me, Erza?!
[16:24] ---
    I told you to abandon me here!
[16:28] ---
    Stop beating yourself up already.
[16:34] ---
    If you realize you made a mistake with
    the way you've been living your life,
[16:37] ---
    you just have to take the
    next moment to start over.
[16:42] ---
    I'm sure it's not so simple,
[16:45] ---
    but I know several people who've done
    that and face their pasts head-on.
[16:56] ---
    Huh? Somebody's approaching.
[16:59] ---
    Fro thinks so, too.
[17:06] ---
    Happy! Lily!
[17:08] ---
    Erza!
[17:10] ---
    Long time no see, Happy-kun!
[17:10] ---
    Minerva! And the Saber Exceeds!
[17:13] ---
    Happy-kun! Happy-kun!
[17:15] ---
    What are you guys doing here?
[17:17] ---
    Sorry, but we're in a hurry.
[17:19] ---
    We can be happy about our reunion later.
[17:22] ---
    I would like to know the situation...
[17:25] ---
    Actually, blah-blah-blah-blah-blah, yes.
[17:28] ---
    I see. We'll go with you.
[17:31] ---
    Anyway, Happy-kun,
    I like your fashionable headgear.
[17:35] ---
    Fro thinks so, too!
[17:40] ---
    My lady?
[17:42] ---
    Happy, did you say something
    offensive to Minerva again?
[17:48] ---
    What do you mean?
[17:50] ---
    I didn't say anything!
[17:52] ---
    I'm sorry...
[17:53] ---
    Little bastard...
[17:55] ---
    I'm sorry, I'm sorry...
[18:01] ---
    We couldn't remove that mushroom for
    anything, but you plucked it right off!
[18:04] ---
    That's our lady, yes!
[18:07] ---
    Fro thinks so, too!
[18:08] ---
    What did you do to me?!
[18:10] ---
    This is no ordinary mushroom.
[18:13] ---
    I believe... the value is...
[18:17] ---
    How much? How much?
[18:20] ---
    This is one of the Nine Demon Gates.
[18:23] ---
    I'm sure he knows where the control room is.
[18:26] ---
    Right.
[18:28] ---
    I've never been treated with such disrespect!
[18:30] ---
    That's our lady!
[18:31] ---
    Our lady!
[18:32] ---
    Good work, Happy.
[18:34] ---
    Aww...
[18:35] ---
    It was nothing, really.
[18:37] ---
    Is this what they call a self-satisfied look?
[18:40] ---
    We have less than an hour before
    Face is activated! Let's hurry!
[18:44] ---
    Destined to fight, you say?
[18:51] ---
    Well, where should I begin the story?
[18:54] ---
    Yeah. I'll tell you about this body.
[18:59] ---
    This body is a vessel.
[19:01] ---
    It's a corpse that happened to be around.
[19:06] ---
    The members of Tartaros are all
    demons from the Books of Zeref.
[19:10] ---
    Of course, that includes me.
[19:12] ---
    My true form isn't a human.
[19:16] ---
    But there are a lot of inconveniences
    in going around in the form of a demon.
[19:22] ---
    That's why I usually take human form.
[19:26] ---
    And when I was going to choose
    a human for that task,
[19:29] ---
    there happened to be a fine corpse nearby.
[19:32] ---
    I've been using this body ever since.
[19:37] ---
    I thought getting this body
     was a coincidence.
[19:41] ---
    But maybe you and I were drawn together.
[19:44] ---
    You don't know how patiently I've waited
    for the day to kill you with my own hands.
[19:51] ---
    You can go pack sand, you bastard!
[19:54] ---
    You dare use my father's body...
[19:57] ---
    You've given me a reason to hate you,
    but you've got no reason to hate me!
[20:02] ---
    Wrong.
[20:03] ---
    I won't be satisfied until I murder
     all of Ur's disciples.
[20:09] ---
    See, I was sealed away for
    ten years because of her.
[20:19] ---
    My name is Deliora! You haven't
    forgotten, have you, Gray?!
[20:39] ---
    It can't be...
[20:41] ---
    Ur killed Deliora...
[20:44] ---
    That's right. She did kill me.
    For all of ten years.
[20:48] ---
    But Tartaros had Hell's Core,
    a physical regeneration machine.
[20:55] ---
    Are you really that Deliora?
[20:59] ---
    If you don't believe me,
    shall I show you my true form?
[21:03] ---
    The form I was in when
    I murdered your parents!
[21:13] ---
    That feeling is getting stronger...
[21:16] ---
    A dire premonition felt
    before we even came here...
[21:20] ---
    Have to get over to Gray-sama fast...
[21:23] ---
    Gray?
[21:25] ---
    I see.
[21:27] ---
    That boy is special to you.
[21:33] ---
    All tales have a beginning... and an end.
[21:38] ---
    For the boy, the beginning was
[21:41] ---
    the day Deliora stole everything from him.
[21:45] ---
    What are you talking about?
[21:47] ---
    Deliora stole his house, his friend,
    his mother and father...
[21:51] ---
    Amid the calamity and the flames
    that ignored his prayers,
[21:56] ---
    the boy's tale began that day.
[22:01] ---
    And Gray's tale comes to an end today.
[22:08] ---
    What did you just say?
[22:12] ---
    I can see it.
[22:14] ---
    Succumbing to despair again when faced
    with the power of inhuman calamity,
[22:18] ---
    the boy at last chooses the
    same future as his mentor.
[23:55] ---
    He keenly felt the loss
    of his family and mentor.
[23:58] ---
    Deliora robbed the young Gray
    of everything kind in his life.
[24:02] ---
    Now Gray's fury is directed at the
    resurrected demon borrowing his father's form.
[24:07] ---
    However, he's in a tight spot
[24:10] ---
    when his attacks are ineffective
    against the resurrected demon,
[24:13] ---
    and Deliora's terror returns.
[24:16] ---
    Next time:
    Tartaros Arc: Gray Versus Silver.
SIGN    Tartaros Arc: Gray Versus Silver
[24:20] ---
    The truth is mixed together with
    the kindness and sadness.
